Wow numbers not your strong point? 1million minus 990,000 still equals 10,000. Dont mistake me, I never said no-one died and that people didnt get sick.

Comparing third world mines was I? Tell that to NZ. And I was refering more to the health issues due to the pollution released from coal stations.. even in first world countries.

Oh and don't forget, with the emmissions from dirty power sources, the raising of ocean levels will make the numbers at Chernobyl look tiny. We have to do something, and no matter how much you preach it, wind and solar are just not viable enough now to satisfy peoples power demands..in 25-30 years maybe, but by then....

Hiding the facts about radiation? If radiation was as totally dangerous as you are saying, I hope like hell you havent had an Xray!! And why the hell would i work with it if it was so bad?

Yes Chernobyl happened, it was a disaster and tragic. The suffering it has caused is terrible. But if because something kills people when it goes horribly wrong, I hope you dont drive your car to work!

Yes there are inherent dangers in nuclear, I (and most other rational people) will never deny that. But have you ever seen the damage done to a townsite when a large hydro dam collapses? Just ask the more than 150,000 dead Chinese (Banqiao Reservoir Dam). Get real, the only truly safe way to generate power is.. well.. not to.
